Crossbones May Return in Captain America: Civil War

Crossbones actor Frank Grillo spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the next step for his character, expressing his excitement and teasing that what was seen of the mercenary is "only a taste of what's to come in the next film."

Grillo also mentions he recently received a call from Marvel, in which they asked him what sort of shape he was in and requested a body scan, which allows them to create a costume perfectly contoured to the actor's body.

Although injured in The Winter Soldier, it's apparent at the end Crossbones is still very much alive, suggesting a returning role as a villain in the next film. He has not yet been confirmed to return, and it's unclear at this point how the team would implement his character in the film, but Grillo has signed on for several movies, and the tease suggests it's more than likely going to happen.
